Overview#
banger.meme is a place to launch and trade tokens on Cronos. You can browse launches, open any token to see its details, and trade straight from your wallet.
banger.meme never holds your funds. Every launch and trade is a transaction your wallet asks you to approve, executed against public contracts on Cronos.
Key facts
- Names and symbols can be copied. Always check the token address.
- Prices come from each token's live trading pool.
- Launches can be volatile, illiquid, or lose all value.
How launches work#
Creating a launch deploys the token and its trading pool in a single transaction, and the pool's liquidity is locked automatically. The position NFT is transferred to the launch locker and can never be withdrawn. The creator sets the name, symbol, image, description, links, and fee wallet at creation.
Every token trades against WCRO in its own VVS V3 pool. There is no bonding curve and no migration later. Buys and sells happen in that same pool from the moment it launches.
Create
The token is minted with a fixed supply and its WCRO pool goes live in the same transaction.
Trade
Buys and sells run against WCRO in the locked pool and move the price.
Graduate
The launch graduates once enough WCRO is paired, and trading continues in the same pool.
Each launch uses a fixed supply of 212,000,000 tokens, a 1% pool fee, and a 10 CRO launch fee.
Creator's first buy
Any CRO sent above the launch fee is spent as the first buy in the same transaction and delivered to the fee wallet set at creation. It is the only buy allowed in the launch block, so a launch cannot be sniped ahead of its own creator.
Launch protection#
Buys from the pool are protected for the first two blocks after launch. On the launch block itself, only the creator's initial buy can execute. For the rest of the window each wallet can hold at most 5% of supply and buy at most 5.5% of supply in total.
Selling and wallet-to-wallet transfers are never restricted, and all limits end once the window closes. After that block the token behaves as a plain ERC-20 with no transfer hooks, no blacklist, and no owner.
The exact end of the window is onchain: read restrictionEndBlock() on the
token, or restrictionsEndBlock from the factory's launch record.
Trading and pricing#
Every token trades against WCRO in its own liquidity pool. The price you see is the live pool price, and it moves with each trade. The amount you actually receive can differ slightly from the quote. Slippage sets how much of that movement you accept.
Price
The current pool price for one token.
Market cap
Price multiplied by circulating supply.
FDV
Price multiplied by the full token supply.
Price impact
The pool movement caused by the size of your trade.
Slippage
The maximum execution movement your transaction accepts.
Liquidity
Assets available in the pool around the current price.
Supply is fixed at launch and nothing is minted afterwards, so FDV equals market cap unless tokens have been sent to a burn address.
Graduation#
A launch graduates once the WCRO paired in its locked pool reaches the threshold. The threshold is 69,420 WCRO, and the progress line tracks how close a launch is.
The paired amount is read live from the locked position at the current price, so progress moves in both directions with the market. Graduation only confirms the threshold was reached. It is not a quality signal and does not guarantee future liquidity, price, or an exit.
Nothing migrates
Trading continues in the same pool after graduation. There is no migration event, no second pool, and no change to the locked liquidity.
Fees#
Trading generates liquidity fees in both the token and WCRO. The protocol keeps a share and the creator keeps the rest. The creator can claim their share from the banger.meme interface at any time.
The split is snapshotted for each token when it launches and never changes afterward. The current 50/50 split applies to every token launched through the active factory.
Creator rewards accrue inside the token's locked position until someone calls
collectFees. Claiming splits both assets in one transaction and sends each
side directly to its recipient, so the snapshotted split is always honored. A creator can
point their share at another wallet with setFeeRedirect.
The protocol share funds infrastructure and the banger.meme team. It is not immutable policy, and any change to how it is used will be reflected here.
Risk disclosures#
Tokens launched through banger.meme are user-created and experimental. Review the token address, creator, liquidity, holder concentration, and transaction preview before signing.
Before you trade
- Prices can move quickly and liquidity can be thin.
- Similar names and images can represent unrelated tokens.
- Smart contracts, wallets, RPCs, and indexers can fail.
- Displayed values are estimates, not execution guarantees.
